Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Department of Criminology, Law & Society at the University of California Irvine is pleased to announce that we will be sponsoring a postdoctoral fellowship.

Criteria: We seek scholars whose research, teaching, and service will contribute to the diversity and equal opportunity within the Department of Criminology, Law and Society at the University of California, Irvine and the general society. The contributions to diversity may include public service towards increasing equitable access in fields where women and minorities are under-represented. In some fields, the contributions may include research focusing on underserved populations or understanding inequalities related to race, gender, disability or LGBT. We seek applicants with the potential to bring to their academic and research careers the critical perspective that comes from their non-traditional educational background or understanding of the experiences of members of groups historically underrepresented in higher education.

Fellowship: The Fellowship will be for one academic year, in residence at the Irvine campus, with the possibility of renewal.

Salary: The annual award provides an annual salary ranging from $39,264 to $49,884 based upon years of experience. The award also includes health insurance, vision and dental benefits, four weeks paid time off and up to $10,000 for research-related and program travel expenses.

Eligibility Upon application, candidates should be in possession of proof of their legal right to employment in the U.S. In compliance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, verification of legal right to work will be required between the time of final selection and hiring, and is absolutely essential in being hired.
